Read moreFor someone who always forgets to take in health and beauty supplements, a product that I can easily tote around and drink whenever I feel like it is truly heaven sent. I had been always curious about Beauti Drink when I first saw in 7/11 but for some reasons, I never had a chance to purchase and try one. That is why when I was asked to sample Beauti Drinks, I agre…

Read moreAs much as I would like to do reviews, FOTDs and tutorials, I just can't. My face is still swollen due to my impacted wisdom tooth. The swelling will last until I decide to have it extracted which I think is soon. Healing and total recovery will take a little while, good thing I already have a few posts lined up. :) Anyway, I am here to announce the winner…
Read moreAs much as I would like to grow my hair long, I couldn't. My crowning glory has been the sole victim of the side effects of all the medications I am taking. Truth be told, I was on the verge on getting my hair shaved. Yes, I preferred to go bald than see my hair losing its last few strands. I asked my doctor's opinion regarding the matter and he assured me…
Read moreI know, I know. I was missing for a week. My schedules were pretty hectic that I was not allowed to squeeze in a post. Good thing, in just a few days time, I'll have a short-term break which means I would have time to try new products, take photos and draft posts! Before I really get excited with that very short term break, let me share to you some of the prod…
Read moreThe idea of quality over quantity always get me twisted. There are times that I won't mind spending thousands just to have my hands on a great product but most often than not, I would hoard not-so-good products just because I want all the shades available to be mine. But lately, and due to maturity kicking in, I am starting to be more after the quality than q…
Read moreWhen I was starting to collect makeup, e.l.f was one of the brands I frequented. I love how most of its products work good given that each is just sold for around $1 to $3 in the US. e.l.f. is available locally, through malls and online shops, but the prices would be around Php100 to Php300. Yes, it is still affordable given that the local prices include all the s…
Read moreCream eyeshadows are quite a bit tricky to use, for me at least. Most of those I have tried crease and don't last long on my not-so-oily lids so you couldn't blame me if I don't have that much in my stash. Don't get me wrong, I still have some in my stash because they work good as base but I only have the basic white, black and taupe color. Getting…
Read moreI am not so much into whitening but my skin has gone berserk these past few weeks that dark spots, scars and blemishes started to appear. All blames go to genes as simple scratches and pimples turn into dark scars. Also, the everyday wear of closed, high-heeled shoes tortured my feet making it all bruised up and well, darker than it usually are. Honestly, I was on…
Read moreWhen I was cropping and doing some finishing touches on my recently taken photos, I realized that everything looks crappy, at least on my expectations. It looks blurry and most of the colors didn't show up true and well. I am already planning to get a new camera, but I am waiting for the biggest financial break before I do so. While I still don't have a new…
